Coming from the New York cold to the LA sun, I wanted one thing: a tan (okay, more than one thing), but with my SPF regimen, that’s not happening anytime soon. Truth be told the only way you’ll see this body with color is if it’s a spray tan or body bronzer. With Coachella, pools and the excessive amount of white clothing I brought I don’t have the energy for body bronzer or the patience with it sweating all over my clothes. The easy solution, Palm Beach Tan. They are my jam, and literally have locations everywhere but NYC (they are the largest indoor tanning company nationwide, and my go-to when I’m in LA!)! In literally 2 minutes they can customize my bronze to any level of golden with their state of the art machines and products. I mean how tan am I from these photos I took yesterday?

In celebration of being in reach of the beach, we’re partnering to giveaway tan packages and a $150 Nordstrom gift certificate to help with that summer outfit!nordstrom-giveaway-reef-sandals-kate-spade-orchard-bag

Whether you’re one for tradition or not, Memorial Day unofficially marks the beginning of white season. Now the fashion industry and whole ‘winter whites’ rivals this whole theme that began sometime in the late 1800s/early 1900s (no one really knows). The connotation being that white was for leisure, while dark clothing was for working people. The shade would dominate through Labor Day when it was then a faux pas to wear white after. Or so the socialites of that time would have you think — not Coco Chanel, she famously wore white year round. Although we all know she was ahead of her time.

Holiday Travel Giveaway: Mosaic Photo Book + LeSportsac + Knock Out Nail Polish

travel giveawayIt’s been an amazing adventure spending this past month in Australia. And I’m so grateful to have a platform like Instagram where I can share so many of my moments in real time. But nothing tops an album to capture the memories forever.

Today, I’m taken over Mosaic’s instagram page (@MosaicBook) and am sharing some of the highlights from the trip. All of the pictures I’m showing will then be turned into a photo book using the Mosaic’s photo app (available for iPhone and Android and can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play).

I’ve featured Mosaic before but for anyone that’s not familiar, Mosaic is a free app, which lets you create a custom photo album book allowing you to pull images from Facebook, Instagram and shared photo albums for just $25. Best of all, it arrives in 2-4 days and takes minutes to create. And if you order between December 11 – 15th, Mosaic is offering free shipping!

It’s one of my favorite gifts to give, especially with the holidays coming up as there’s no better way to capture all your favorite moments then with a Mosaic photo book.

So in honor of my trip and the joys of holiday travel (preferably to warm, tropical areas), we’re giving away 3 of my favorite travel items: The LeSportsac x Ericson Beamon Clutch, Knock Out nail polish in shade, EEL, and a code for a free Mosaic photo book (and shipping) so you can make your own.

There are 2 ways to enter (each counts as a separate entry):

  • Liking @prettyconnected and @mosaicbook on Instagram and like/comment on the giveaway picture on Mosaic’s page.
  • Like us both on Twitter at @prettyconnected and @heymosaic and tweet about the giveaway using the hashtags #PCxMosaic or by tweeting: RT/Follow @prettyconnected & @heymosaic to enter to win this @lesportsac bag & @kocosmetics #giveaway #PCxMosaic http://shar.es/135XDj

Enter as many times as you would like!

Winner will be announced 12/17. All local, state and federal rules apply.
